Roof Opening Panel 'Bounces Back' When Closing - Repair Procedure
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE
CONDITION SUMMARY:
Situation:
While closing the roof opening panel, the panel may bounce back at approximately two-thirds closed as it passes over the wind deflector. This failure to
close may be caused by the spring rates of the wind deflector springs being too high, which activates the anti-trap feature of the roof opening panel.
Action:
In the event of a customer concern of the above, refer to the Repair Procedure outlined below to install new roof opening panel wind deflector springs
(VIN R00019 - R22000) and carry out a roof opening panel motor synchronization procedure (VIN R00019 - R31206).
PARTS
Tools:
Refer to Workshop Manual (GTR) for any special tools required.
